    • Homers, reaches three times in win
      Alvarez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks in Friday's 11-1 win over the Cubs.

      Advice: Alvarez opened the second inning with a 420-foot solo home run off Shota Imanaga then walked in the fourth and ninth frames. The homer was Alvarez's first since returning from a thumb injury June 11, and he has eight hits and five RBI during a modest four-game hitting streak. On the season, Alvarez is slashing .271/.319/.400 with two home runs and 15 RBI in 91 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 3:17 pm
       
    • Homers, drives in four in win
      Martinez went 2-for-4 with a home run, four RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 11-1 victory over the Cubs.

      Advice: Martinez opened the scoring with a three-run home run off Shota Imanaga in the first inning then added an RBI single in the fourth. Martinez went 1-for-10 in a quiet series against the Rangers but continued a nice June, now hitting .297 with four home runs and 17 RBI in 64 at-bats. On the season, he owns a .287 average with nine homers and 31 RBI in 178 at-bats. Rotowire.com Today, 3:13 pm
       
    • Zac Gallen to throw another sim game on Monday
      Zac Gallen (hamstring) is expected to throw around 70 pitches in another simulated game on Monday.

      Advice: Assuming all goes well with that session, the expectation is that he’ll rejoin the Diamondbacks’ rotation next weekend against the Athletics. The 28-year-old hurler had posted a 3.12 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and a 60/15 K/BB ratio over 57 2/3 innings through his first 11 starts. Rotoworld Today, 3:03 pm

    • J.D. Martinez homers, drives in four in rout
      J.D. Martinez delivered a three-run homer and an RBI single Friday as the Mets torched the Cubs 11-1.

      Advice: Martinez is 11-for-27 with four homers, three doubles and 12 RBI in his last eight games. His current .870 OPS is practically a match for his career mark of .873, but it’s especially impressive given the current conditions, especially for a Mets hitter. Unfortunately, he’s probably going to lose his streak of five straight All-Star appearances, unless maybe the NL carries a third DH alongside Shohei Ohtani and Marcell Ozuna.

    • Max Scherzer not starting for Rangers on Saturday
      Rangers’ manager Bruce Bochy announced Friday that Jon Gray will start on Saturday against the Royals.

      Advice: There had been speculation that Max Scherzer would make his 2024 season debut on Saturday, but it’ll be Gray getting the ball instead. Bochy was quick to point out that Scherzer has not had any sort of setback and could still return to start Sunday’s series finale against the Royals. Stay tuned. Rotoworld Today, 2:33 pm
       
    • Justin Verlander (neck) has yet to resume throwing
      Astros’ manager Joe Espada told reporters on Friday that right-hander Justin Verlander (neck) has yet to resume throwing.

      Advice: There had been hope that he would resume throwing earlier in the week, but it’s taking much longer than expected for his neck discomfort to dissipate. At this point, there’s no clear timetable for when the 41-year-old hurler will be able to rejoin the Astros’ rotation. Rotoworld Today, 2:18 pm
       
    • Return pushed back
      Scherzer (back/thumb) won't start Saturday's game against the Royals, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Scherzer was initially reported to make his 2024 debut Saturday after spending early portions of the season recovering from offseason back surgery and dealing with thumb and forearm injuries more recently. Instead, Bruce Bochy will hand the ball to Jon Gray on Saturday, with starters for Sunday's series finale against Kansas City and Monday's series opener against Milwaukee to be determined. Scherzer and Dane Dunning figure to fill the two starting slots, though it's unclear in what order. Rotowire.com Today, 2:17 pm
       
    • Jeimer Candelario (tendinitis) returns to lineup
      Jeimer Candelario (tendinitis) returned to the Reds’ starting lineup on Friday night.

      Advice: Candelario was pulled from Tuesday’s game due to general fatigue and tendinitis and then sat out Wednesday’s game as a precautionary measure. He’s feeling much improved after a couple of days off though and is back in there as the Reds’ designated hitter on Friday night. He’ll bat third against Kutter Crawford and the Red Sox.

    • Nolan Jones (illness) returns to lineup on Friday
      Nolan Jones (illness) returned to the Rockies’ starting lineup for Friday’s series opener against the Nationals.

      Advice: The dynamic 26-year-old outfielder missed each of the team’s previous two games due to illness, but he’s right back out there in left field on Friday night. Jones will bat sixth against DJ Herz and the Nationals on Friday evening at Coors Field. Rotoworld Today, 1:45 pm
